The article discusses certain aspects of representations of Aeneas in Roman coinage, focusing in particular on the declining period of the Republic and Augustus’ principate. At the time, Aeneas; father, Anchises, would be depicted on the coins as the sole companion of the former. Although later the figure of the parent carried on a shoulder served as an attribute denoting the Trojan hero depicted on the reverses, the early minted representations of Aeneas were not as unambiguous in that respect. This was due to the fact that portrayals of Aeneas did resemble the manner in which the Catanian Brothers were represented, with both serving potentially as allegories of pietas.

The article constitutes a brief commentary on the value of Roman coins and medallions as sources of historical cognition. Discussion about the question of the cognitive appeal of ancient Roman coins has a long history of its own. In a somehow a priori manner the author sides with the supporters of the considerable significance of Roman coins and medallions in historical research. In this context, she focuses on the message of numismatic sources contained in inscriptions, and especially in the iconography of the obverse and reverse sides of coins and medallions. These representations constitute an inexhaustible source of information for analyses of spheres of Roman history which are distinct from the traditional concept of the political history of the empire. Moreover, a number of ways and methods of interpretation of numismatic material are indicated. These include the following: descriptive analyses, numismatic studies sensu stricto, stylistic analyses, historical studies, ideological studies. The first three procedures remain to be the fundamental means of the cognition of the sense of a numismatic representation, and in many cases they constitute necessary conditions for the transition to in-depth historical or ideological studies in this subject.

Artykuł jest krótkim komentarzem do wartości monet i medalionów rzymskich jako źródła poznania historycznego. Dyskusja nad kwestią atrakcyjności poznawczej numizmatów rzymskich ma swą już długą historię. Autor niejako apriorycznie opowiada się po stronie zwolenników dużego znaczenia monet i medalionów rzymskich w badaniach historycznych. Koncentruje się przy tym na przekazie źródeł numizmatycznych zawartym w inskrypcjach, a zwłaszcza w ikonografii awersów i rewersów monet oraz medalionów. Wyobrażenia te stanowią nieprzebrane bogactwo do analiz innych sfer historii rzymskiej niż tradycyjnie pojmowane dzieje polityczne imperium. Wskazano także kilka sposobów i metod interpretowania materiału numizmatycznego. Są to: analizy deskryptywne, studia stricte numizmatyczne, analizy stylistyczne, studia historyczne, studia ideologiczne. Trzy pierwsze procedury pozostają podstawowym stopniem poznania sensu wyobrażenia monetarnego, a nawet często są niezbędnym warunkiem przejścia do pogłębionych nad nim studiów historycznych czy ideologicznych.

The paper offers interpretations of the content of aurei and antoniniani of the DEAE SEGETIAE type, minted for Salonina Augusta, wife of emperor Gallienus (253–268). Apart from that instance, the name Segetia never appeared again in imperial coinage. Meanwhile, the effigy of the goddess on those coins displays traits found in the representations of other deities.

The article opens with a presentation of the figure of Adolph Occo III (1524-1606), the author of Imperatorum Romanorum Numismata. He is one of the most prominent representatives of the numismatic literature, today mostly forgotten. In subsequent parts of the work, Imperatorum Romanorum Numismata serves to present the methods of preserving the memory of Trajan, the ruler of the Roman Empire between 98 and 117AD, in numismatic material. The author analyzed Occo’s records of legends and descriptions of the iconography of numismatics and the emerging image of emperor Trajan, interested in the East and its conqueror. The recognized, designated marks of this image are a common part of the ancient tradition and that stemming from later times, concerned with Trajan as a conqueror. There are, however, other elements, introduced as a novum exclusively by Adolph Occo, who included them within his descriptions of Trajan’s numismatics. Such reading of Imperatorum Romanorum Numismata allows to see the author as an extraordinary erudite.

On the basis of numismatic material I present aspects of the figure of Aeneas as they appear in ancient tradition. I have concentrated on the iconographic details and the arrangement of the reverse scenes which allow one to isolate the elements of Aeneas’s portrait in the coinage that are closely associated with his role as the one who, by carrying over the sacra to Italy, made way for the foundation and continuation of Rome.

W artykule przeanalizowano w jaki sposób podczas kryzysu III w. cesarze rzymscy wykorzystywali monety i medaliony do promowania ideologii dynastycznej i sukcesji rodu rządzącego. Numizmatyka rzymska rozszerza naszą wiedzę o niuansach polityki dynastycznej. Jej zwornikiem był cesarz; a dotyczyło to również postaci cesarzowej, dziedziców i przodków. Analiza świadectw numizmatycznych ukazuje mechanizmy konstruowania wizerunku jedności dynastycznej, harmonii w rodzinie cesarskiej oraz stabilności sukcesji w imperium rzymskim.

The paper examines how Roman emperors used coins and medallions during the 3rd-century crisis to promote the dynastic ideologies and succession policies of the ruling house. Roman numismatics expands our knowledge of the nuances of dynastic politics. The keystone was the emperor; it also concerned the figures of empresses, heirs and ancestors. The analysis of numismatic evidence shows the mechanisms of constructing an image of dynastic unity, harmony in the imperial family, and succession stability in the Roman Empire.

The paper sets out from several pieces of graffiti found across the cityscape of present-day Rome to show the possible ambiguity of those inscriptions. Since they invoke the she-wolf, they may also draw attention to the Roman she-wolf (lupa Romana), a symbol intrinsic to ancient Rome. An analysis of antique literary accounts demonstrates that for the ancients themselves the lupa remained an unequivocal figure.

W artykule, wychodząc od treści kilku graffiti umieszczonych w przestrzeni miejskiej współczesnego Rzymu, staram się pokazać ewentualną niejednoznaczność tych napisów. Dotyczą one wilczycy rzymskiej (lupa Romana), symbolu zrośniętego z Rzymem starożytnym. Analiza antycznych przekazów literackich dowodzi, że dla samych starożytnych lupa pozostawała figurą wieloznaczną.

The book written by Agnieszka Dziuba has been discussed in this article. It related to one of the most recognizable women of the Roman Republic, Clodia Metelli, one of the most powerful patrician gentes (Claudii), wife of Q. Caecilius Metellus Celer, sister of P. Clodius. Dziuba analyzed the ancient literary tradition concerning Clodia Metelli. The paper also offers observations on the presence of Clodia (Claudia) in a famous numismatist study Promptuarium iconum insigniorum by Guillaume Rouillé (1553).

Caeciliusa Metellusa Celera, siostrze P. Clodiusa. A. Dziuba analizuje starożytną tradycję literacką narosłą wokół Clodii Metelli. W artykule przedstawiono także obecność postaci Clodii (Claudii) w słynnym numizmatycznym dziele Guillaume’a Rouillé, Promptuarium iconum insigniorum (1553).

The image of the “founder”, who marks the boundaries of the city with a plough drawn by a pair of animals was one of the obvious themes placed on the reverses of colonial coins. Such a symbolic foundation scene (aratrum motif) was also one of the leading themes on coins from the colonial mint in Parium in the east of the Roman Empire. During the reign of Hadrian (AD 117–138), this mint issued coins (RPC 3, nos 1539 and 1540), which, apart from the aratrum motif, have an unobvious legend on their reverses, especially in its connection with the obverse inscription on these coins.
